Review of The Box (2009) by Hcorrell — 20 Mar 2011

This movie as not as bad as people make it out to be. I'll admit, there are some vaguely explained moments, unconvincing acting (thank you Cameron Diaz), an ending that leaves you unsatisfied, and some plot points that aren't tied together.

But for everything that is isn't, it's really good. It's creepy. It's thought provoking, and it achieves that purpose very well. If you're reading this review, you know the plot. If you don't know the plot, don't look it up; I feel like people who went into this movie expecting something came out the most unsatisfied. I bought my copy for around 4 bucks and it was very worth it.

-If you go into this movie with an open mind, you'll leave more satisfied and intrigued than not.

-If you enjoyed Donnie Darko, you'll enjoy this.

-If you're looking for something cheap, creepy, and thrilling, grab this.

-If you like twists and ambiguity, grab this.

-If you're looking for a blood and guts horror, look elsewhere.

-If you enjoyed Saw, you prob won't like this.

-If you enjoyed From Paris with Love, you prob won't like this.

-If you like a plot that's easy to follow, you prob won't like this.
